They can be safely beaten up, abused, colored on, poked holes in, and kicked around without fear of having to buy another pair of nice, expensive, bongos.

I was looking for a good, basic bongo set for my child, not a toy, but a basic beginner musical instrument.

We love these bongos

After numerous poundings and kids standing on them these bongos are still holding strong.

The bongos are so colorful, fun to play and fun to see

Makes a decent bongo sound

I also think these bongos are a little pricey.

real bongos are expensive, I guess.

The bongos are very nice & sturdy though, and they look great with the floor tom.

Heads are almost a little too tight to get that nice bongo sound, perhaps they will wear in

I had a nice beginner bongo as a kid, I am looking for something like that- sturdy, small for small hands, and makes a solid resonant sound.

This is a highly durable bongo.

The design is colorful if repetitive and again, for a toddler these are likely the most durable bongos you'll find that are not a toy.

The bongos are just as sturdy and fun.

Perfect bongos for a toddler or young child.

To those several reviewers who fault the sound, well, what do you expect for twenty bucks - a good bongo set goes for $300 or so.

Great little bongos, decent sound for the size.

So I was hoping these inexpensive bongos would work well as spares for our drum circle, for adults or kids who don't bring their own percussion.

Any bongo will sound dead if you leave your hand/fingers on the head, you must "bounce" your fingers/hand off the head to allow it to vibrate

If you want some decent bongos to play on yourself, look elsewhere unless you're a young kid

We bought these bongos for him to bang on and he loves them.

My 5 year old daughter loves the bongos

My 3-year-old grandson loved these bongos

These are awesome bongos for a younger child.

But if you want a half-way decent bongo sound these are probably not the best choice.

If you want the authentic bongo sound, then do not buy this product

We've had hours of fun together with this toy -- which is also why I consider the bongos an exceptional value

My grandson likes to pound on things like boxes, the table, etc, so I thought he would love these bongos

SO glad I invested in a "better" drum rather than a super cheap-o "kid" drum
